“ When we consider the many injustices of the 20th century, surely one of the most insidious was the breaking-off of communication and exchange between the peoples of Europe, the fear of contact, the closing of minds, all those wasted opportunities for friendship and good neighbourliness.”
- President Mary McAleese at the opening of a seminar on links between
Ireland & Bulgaria, 'A New Partnership', Sofia University, 26th March 2009

“A key feature of the Smart Economy is building the innovation or ‘ideas’ component of the economy through investment in human capital and its ability and effectiveness in translating ideas into valuable processes, products and services…
… It has, at its core, the creation of an exemplary research, innovation and commercialisation ecosystem so as to create ‘The Innovation Island’.”

“Another “small” country was able to impress… by its surprisingly high average citation ratio; Ireland (14.2) came in second worldwide leaving even the “big” USA (13.5) behind in third place. France (12.7) and Scotland (12.5) followed in
fourth and fifth places respectively”.

For those aspirational peers...I want to go in and evaluate the faculty and those departments to give me a direct comparison, then I get every single faculty member and run them through the citation index”

“We have built a research information system which is fully integrated with all of the systems—library, research office, grants, and the university -- it’s CV driven, and so every researcher in the institution can access a web based, online view and over time create a research profile for themselves containing up-to-date publications”

“Barriers rising between business
and universities”
Key policy of businesses working with universities at risk from red tape and overvaluing IP. By Anthea Lipsett, The Guardian, Thursday March 12 2009
“… a rising tide of bureaucracy”- Dr Ammon Salter, Advanced Institute of Management report
“ Knowledge dissemination must not be viewed as an adjunct to research; rather, it must be treated as an integral part of the knowledge creation process, along with access to knowledge. The emerging vision for the future is one of a highly complex research environment that is integrated with comprehensive research dissemination.”
